The ** who hurried for hundreds of miles was very angry, and the life of a high-ranking official for more than half a year did not have much impact on his temperament, at this time, the horizontal flesh on his face became more and more entangled, red fluttering and a beard tied into a pile, in addition to the heavy cotton armor, he also wore an exaggerated black cloak, at a glance, like a fat bear.

"Handsome ......" ** Sheng grinned, saluted on one knee nonchalantly, and then stood up, "I'm here!" ”

"Into your mother's ......" Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and casually helped him take off his cloak and throw it to Li Ergou, but turned his head to Shi Lang and said, "Old Shi, you are an expert, did you see it just now, how about those wood?!" ”

Lin Feng was talking about the huge logs that had been dismantled from the Forbidden City. To be honest, Lin Feng is not very confident about this thing, the Forbidden City in this era is very different from what he saw when he traveled when he was a child, the Ming Dynasty has been in Beijing for more than 200 years, and there are more than a dozen emperors and emperors who have gone through it, of which the faint monarch accounts for the majority, but it is a pity that although these guys have quirky hobbies, there are not many people who like to expand the palace in a big way, so that palace is much more chilling than that of later generations.

"Returning to the marshal," Shi Lang's arrow wound has long been healed, not only that, after this period of cultivation, the original thin body has also gained a lot of weight, since Lin Feng revealed to him the news of the establishment of a naval fleet a few days ago, his mental state is even better, at this moment he is full of red light, and reported loudly, "Except for a few decay, most of the materials are good, which is suitable for building warships!" ”

"Oh, that's good, I thought after all these years, all these things were rotten!"

"Hehe, the handsome don't know," Shi Lang said with a smile, "These woods are the top good wood scavenged by the emperors of the former Ming Dynasty from all over the country, the roots are thick and sturdy and the maintenance is excellent, and even better, it has been put in a dry and cool place for so many years to dry, and the quality of the cut boards is better, and the boat is better than the wet wood harvested temporarily!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Lin Feng waved his hand, returned to the seat in the middle and sat down, "Sit down, I called the two of you over this time, just to make a good understanding of this matter." ”

"Everyone is our own brother, so I'll spread it out!" Lin Feng looked at the two generals in the tent, these two people have not been close because of the feud in the early years, although they will not be dismantled in private, but if they want to unite sincerely, it is naturally wishful thinking, "You two are not quite right, I also know this, so don't worry, this will make the navy, I will not twist the two of you together!" ”

**Sheng's face was red, and his huge ass writhed unnaturally on the small chair, making the poor stool creak, but Shi Lang looked indifferent, and when he heard the last few words, he actually smiled indifferently on his face.

"Everyone has been with me for so long, and you should know my temperament, this time I put the words in front, our old man is not happy to conspire to frame him in private - you two have heard it clearly to Lao Tzu, if you fight in the nest in the future, then don't blame Lao Tzu for cutting off his head!!" Lin Feng glanced at the two generals indifferently and said lightly.

"Please rest assured, Dashuai - I, Shi Lang, have been in the army for many years, how can I do such a bad thing?!"

"Humph!" **Sheng glanced at the righteous and awe-inspiring Shi Lang, and said disdainfully, "Although Lao Tzu was born as a pirate, he has been chivalrous and righteous in this life, and even if he wants to engage in it, it is a white knife in and a red knife ...... out."

"Alright, alright! - Your mother is forced, Lao Tzu will explain, you are still on the dog day?! Lin Feng felt the lack of control ability, and seeing that the more he spoke, the more evil he became, he hurriedly interrupted him, "Since you both understand in your hearts, and the commander doesn't talk nonsense, this navy matter is like this-"

Lin Feng stood up, took out a map of Tianjin Weidi drawn by the former Ming Dynasty from his arms, and pointed, "Our brothers have to pay attention to fairness in doing things, this time our fleet will be divided into two - ** you will lead one, Lao Shi will lead one, and this Tianjin port will be common to everyone - do you think this will be successful?!" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, hurriedly leaned forward, checked the various marks on the map by themselves, stared for a long time, ** Sheng suddenly raised his head, and said with a smile, "Big brother...... The ship's business...... What's the equation? ”

"This has to be fair, my side is impartial, Mr. Li Guangdi's side has drawn 1.4 million taels of silver, and the two of you are 700,000 taels each, and the Tianjin government will try to cooperate with you to recruit people to build forts, and I have nothing to do with the rest?!"

Shi Lang was shocked and blurted out, "This...... Where's that guy?! - Sailors and gunners on the ship, as well as experienced boatmen......"

"Oh, I forgot - you two can pick a thousand people in the army, and recruit other miscellaneous people, and come back to me to register for military citizenship."

Shi Lang and ** Sheng looked at each other, their faces were like dirt, and Shi Lang said astringently, "Dashuai, this is ...... This water builder is a money-consuming business, just 700,000 taels of silver...... I'm afraid ......"

"Hey, still not satisfied? To be honest, I'll give you back the leniency of this," Lin Feng smiled and stretched out his palm to settle the account for the two of them, "Listen, first of all, this military service salary will be paid for you—the officers and men of this naval fleet are also soldiers of our Han Dynasty, you don't think you can pay your subordinates, right?" - Want to rebel? …… Hey hey ......"

"Don't dare...... Don't dare ......"

"Yes, this is going to one end, in addition, I will transport all the materials for this shipbuilding to Tianjin for you - in addition to wood, other strong cowhide and sheepskin, cloth, and good iron for casting iron anchor decks will also arrive, and the cannons, muskets, and armor equipped with the ship will all come out of me, absolutely only a lot more, do you think this is money?!"

"This ...... The handsome man has no last resort, and he will admire it to the ......"

"Don't be a sycophant," Lin Feng impatiently interrupted the clumsy compliment between the two, "Last time we had a big battle with the Qing soldiers in Tianjin, which made the people of Tianjin very angry, and now many people have lost their jobs - that place is adjacent to the harbor, there must be a lot of sailors and craftsmen, and the role of these 700,000 taels of silver is only one - you find craftsmen to build ships and pay your own wages, understand?!" ”

"That's handsome...... There are many types of warships fighting in the sea area, each with different functions and specifications, I don't know which ships the marshal wants our Han fleet to build?! Shi Lang frowned and asked tentatively.

"Yes, handsome ......" this ** life is also rare to speak with Shi Lang, embarrassed, "There are many styles of this sea ship, your old man must explain the foundation, right?!" ……”

"I said Haisheng, isn't this a chilling cicada on your dog's day?!" Lin Feng scolded angrily, "You didn't see it last time when Lao Tzu was seasick and dizzy, and you didn't see it, fucking Lao Tzu was dizzy when he saw the big boat-I want to understand this thing, what else do you want to do?!" ”

“……”

"Tsk...... Look at the two of you, how can you say that it is also the general of our Han army, raise your head - isn't the naval fleet your forte? The two of you are professionals, and this handsome is a layman, where in the world is there a layman commanding an insider?! ”

"But ......," Shi Lang smiled bitterly and was speechless.

"Well, let's put it this way, let's not talk nonsense," Lin Feng's face was grim, and he pointed to the map, "This commander has an order: the headquarters of our Han Army plans to establish the first fleet and the second fleet of the Han Navy, the commander of the first fleet is General Shi Lang, and the commander of the second fleet is General **Sheng......"

"Big brother ......" ** was angry, suddenly jumped up, and pointed at Shi Lang angrily, "Big brother, our brothers are loyal to follow you to fight in the north and south, and it is never a word to change your head - but you will turn your elbow outward, why should this kid be the boss and the second ......"

"Fuck your shit...... You sit down for Lao Tzu on a dog day, fuck you really ...... opposite" Lin Feng was furious, Li Ergou, the general of the guard guarding outside the door, smelled the noise in the tent, and couldn't help but secretly open a gap to peep, Lin Feng saw it, pointed at Li Ergou and scolded, "Look at your mother X, what should you do!" ”

Li Ergou was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered the curtain of the frightened door. Looking at the angry Lin Feng, Shi Lang sighed slightly, stood up with a wry smile, and thanked him, "The handsome man is very loving, and the last general is grateful-General Yang has been with the commander for a long time, and it can be said that he has worked hard, and the last general does not dare to be in the front, please ......"

"Bullshit...... Lin Feng snorted, waved his hand and ordered him to sit down, "Fuck Lao Shi, you also come to this with Lao Tzu?" - Don't you know it's a military order? What the hell is this good guy pretending to be? Fuck it, military orders can be pushed back and forth as favors, what kind of ball is that handsome?! ……”

"The last general will not dare to ......" Shi Lang touched his nose and sat down.

"Do you really want to rebel?! ......" Lin Feng ignored Shi Lang, turned his head and stared straight at ** Sheng, and said, "If you don't want to fuck it, just say it, go back to the front line immediately, Lao Tzu will find someone else - Lao Tzu really doesn't believe it, without Zhang Butcher, you can't eat mixed pigs?!" ”

**At this moment, it seems that someone suddenly knocked a stick on the head, his face is extremely embarrassed, he stands in a daze and doesn't know where to go, and he doesn't know where the anger in his heart has gone.

"What are you doing? Sit down for Lao Tzu!! Lin Feng gently threw him a step, hating that iron could not be made of steel, "It's a shame!" - How can Lao Tzu have a brother like you?! ……”

"Big brother...... No, no, no, the last general is guilty! ** blushed, knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

Lin Feng raised his hand and ordered him to sit aside, and said to himself, "I don't understand this naval matter, but this 'I don't understand' just means that I don't know how to fight naval battles, not that this commander doesn't understand the usefulness of the naval fleet." Lin Feng sat down calmly, as if it was another person who had just become angry, and said lightly, "So this commander makes the following arrangements: The First Fleet under the command of General Shi Lang will officially hang the military flag of our Han Army, which is the official fleet that we will show up, and in the future, the affairs with the Zheng family in Taiwan, with the Manchu Qing Division, and even with the red-haired ghosts such as England, Holland, and Spain, will all be handled by the First Fleet!" ……”

Hearing this, ** Sheng's face was extremely ugly, but he was taught a hard lesson by Lin Feng just now, and he didn't dare to jump out and question at this time.

"As for the Second Fleet commanded by General ** Sheng, that is also the center of gravity of our Han Force!!" Lin Feng stared at ** Sheng tightly, and said solemnly, "Your mission is difficult, and your situation is more dangerous than that of the First Fleet - so for a long time, the First Fleet will fully cooperate with you in the battle,......

Hearing that Shi Lang would mainly cooperate with him on an errand, ** was stunned for a while, and immediately came to his senses, and hummed at Shi Lang's demonstration, triumphant.

"After the Second Fleet goes to sea, try not to hang the flag of our Han Army, your task during this period of time is to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce of Jin Merchants and Hui Merchants, and at their request to buy and sell some things that are not allowed to be bought and sold on the Jiangnan Sea, do you understand?" Speaking of this, Lin Feng paused, and suddenly looked up at the roof, "Ahem...... Cough...... In addition to these, if you encounter a lonely fat sheep on the sea...... This, this, Haisheng, this is your old business, you don't need to explain it carefully, right?! ”

"Da Shuai ......" ** looked at Lin Feng in a daze, and said in disbelief, "Let's ...... We are now a Han official army, and this business ......"

"That's why I told you not to hang our flag as much as possible!" Lin Feng said bitterly, "You said that you now have guns, cannons, and fleets, as well as a safe and comfortable base port, of course, you have to do it yourself, so what can you do if you don't work?!" ”

"And what about him...... Why don't the First Fleet do this?! ”

"This thing still depends on the profession, General Shi Lang has nothing to say about naval warfare, but if you look for food on the sea, it may not work, right, General Shi?!"

Shi Lang's face turned red, in fact, he didn't do the pirate business back then, in fact, the Zheng family started in this business back then, but after so many years of desolation, it is indeed a bit difficult to pick it up again, hearing Lin Feng ask, he nodded with a vague wry smile.

"As far as Ben Shuai is concerned, the best way is to make the best use of people, to be honest here, I said Haisheng, if we really fight with the Zheng family at sea, the two sides will pull the team to the death, this dignified arrangement of troops is not as good as General Shi - believe it or not?!"

** opened his mouth wide, although his face was angry, but he didn't refute it after all.

"Here I simply set the rules while the iron is hot, now our Han Navy is still hastily established, very weak, but it will definitely grow slowly in the future, the position of the No. 1 admiral of the navy is naturally one ......of the two of you" Lin Feng smiled and looked at the two of them with excited expressions, "You two have to show a few hands for Ben Shuai to see, and let the big guy be convinced - I will give you 700,000 taels of silver and 1,000 sergeants each, plus a port in Tianjin, you will develop on your own, who does a good job, Then who will sit in this position! ”

"So...... Very good! Shi Lang smiled, "But what is the evidence for a good job?!" ”

"It's easy! - The first is to look at the silver, I don't care what method you use, whether it is stealing or robbing, whether it is trading or knocking on a stick, anyway, whoever pays more silver is who does a good job; The second is to look at the strength, at the moment the strength of the two of you is average, of course in the future, you will buy additional ships to recruit manpower, who develops prosperously is naturally who has the ability; The third one is to look at the battle record, we are all soldiers, the matter of swords and guns is naturally the most important, if you turn your face and start a war with other sailors in the future, then whoever sinks more ships, who captures more manpower and loses the least, that is you! ”

"Haha, yes, yes, that's what I mean!" **Sheng smiled when he heard this, and the eldest brother of the heart was still facing me, of course, such a method was the fastest expansion of himself.

Shi Lang looked solemn, thought for a long time, and said slowly, "That...... According to the meaning of the marshal, our First Fleet doesn't seem to have any good deals to do, right?! ”

"Alas...... Lao Shi, Lao Shi, don't you see that you are stubborn again? Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "I said that you are the fleet of officials, and you want to deal with others seriously, but did I say that you are not allowed to rob or do business?!" ”

"That'...... This ......" Shi Lang felt that Lin Feng's logic was a bit contradictory.

"Lao Shi, I said are you really confused or fake? In today's world, there is really a sailor who is a sage who has not committed any crime - look at England, Britain, look at the Netherlands and Spain, which one is a saint?! Lin Feng said angrily, "I'll give you a reminder here, you said that your first fleet is under the banner of our Han Army, isn't this an advantage?" - You said that you sailed the fleet to Ryukyu, Qiongzhou or something, buy land and do business openly, and even forcibly occupy other people's territory, and catch some natives to build cities and farms? - You are an upright officer and army, not a pirate, it is natural to do this kind of thing, this is different from robbing at sea, pirates are shouted and beaten by everyone, but your business is different, if someone else wants to come to find trouble, it is to declare war on our Han military government, no matter who you are, you have to weigh it, right?! ”

Shi Lang thought for a long time, and finally a smile bloomed on his gloomy and serious face, stood up and bowed to Lin Feng, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your teachings!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "I said Lao Shi, we are all brothers, we can spread out everything and say, you have a fleet this time, don't be in a hurry to find trouble with the Zheng family in Taiwan - to be honest, except for Zheng Chenggong's boss, I don't have a good impression of the other grandchildren, and it will be a matter of time sooner or later to clean them up, but the current situation is complicated, and the strength of the other people's fleet is strong, so we have to be cautious when we do things - it is not too late for the so-called gentleman to take revenge for ten years, you have been a general for a long time, and you don't need me to remind you if you want to come, right?!" ”

"Hehe, the handsome man underestimates me Shi someone, Shi Lang is not talented, this official and private grudge has always been very clear!" Shi Lang gritted his teeth and smiled, "The handsome man is wise and wise, Shi Lang's family is full of dozens of unjust souls, and he will ask the handsome to preside over justice in the future!" ”

Lin Feng said solemnly, "Lao Shi, I made a note with you the first time we met, let's stir the spoon in a pot, your business is my business, at that time, we didn't even have a sampan, I let go, now we all have a fleet, do you think Ben Shuai will break his promise?!" ”

Shi Lang sighed with emotion, leaned down and bowed down, "The handsome forgiveness, at that time Shi Lang thought that the handsome was just a word of comfort, today I swore an oath to destroy the enemy, and swore allegiance to the death for the rest of my life. ”

For Lin Feng, swearing that this thing is like a cabbage, you can eat it if you want, if you really want to ensure it, it still depends on the system, but seeing Shi Lang excited, he had to accompany the performance once, and helped him up at the moment, "Hehe, Lao Shi, you look down on your brother - but let me say it first, General Zheng Chenggong has made great contributions to the nation, and it will definitely not be possible to cut off his bloodline, I will leave him a grandson to do the seed, as for the other Dong Guotai sons or something, then naturally according to your method!" ”

Pressing Shi Lang to the chair, Lin Feng returned to his seat, put on a handsome shelf, and ordered, "You guys are in their respective positions, select the old department to rush to Tianjin to inspect the port dock, and when I finish the affairs of the Forbidden City, I will send the Chamber of Commerce to contact you." ”
